Metro-NeXt is a follow up to Martin Kippenberger’s Metro-Net project. Before his untimely death in 1997 at age 43, Martin Kippenberger imagined a conceptual global underground metro system and started to construct entrances to it in different cities around the world. These faux subway stations led nowhere physically, but conceptually linked the cities and people of the world. Rather than subway stations leading to nowhere, Metro-NeXt leads to a virtual realm, a mixed reality portal, linking the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, Victoria BC, and Los Angeles CA to Boston, Thonon and Lausanne. Using augmented reality technology, visitors can enter the Metro-NeXt Station and teleport to their city of choice.

In May 2014 a 3D model of the Metro-NeXt station was designed by John Craig Freeman and presented at Grand Central Station, New York City for Zurich meets New York week curated by Arthur Clay with fundings from ETH Zurich. It's augmented reality version was displayed at: LA Re.Play Los Angeles 2012, DAW International Victoria BC, and Little Berlin Gallery Philadelphia PA.
